I say no but tbh, if he always made music like that, he'd certainly never go wrong.
Me neither. His thing was a multitude of styles, in the Bad/Dangerous formula. Can't imagine he'd focus his interests in that way.I don't think it needed to be that, no. Would have been a cool thing for him to do for fun, but don't think he felt the need.
That's basically what I'm saying, yes. That's pretty much exactly it.I think attempting to recreate/recapture any previous era would’ve added fuel to the “he’s washed-up” argument. MJ was always an act that pressed forward and strove to differentiate each album from its predecessor. Even Invincible, for all of its misgivings, sounds like nothing else in his catalog. Opting to rest on his laurels thirty years into his career would be a terrible decision.
The only somewhat nostalgia-capturing move I feel was necessary is one he was actively making: emphasizing catchy, feel-good pop and moving away from anti-media tirades.
2000 Watts is a Tyrese Gibson song.Honestly, more throwback songs like "You Rock My World" would have been better than 'N Sync s*** like "Heartbreaker", "Invincible", "Threatened", "Privacy", "2000 Watts", etc. Wanting to change your sound is one thing; making trash is another.

This doesn't sound like Max Martin music?That sounds like an 'N Sync song.
It really doesn't sound like anything Tyrese's own music. None of his released songs were produced by Teddy Riley.
'Get Up On It' (by Tyrese Gibson) sounds somewhat similar to the '2000 Watts' song.It really doesn't sound like anything Tyrese's own music.
The current musical styles/trends used to dictate the sound of each one of his albums, which means that he used to swim with the tide and that he was also a perfect example of a trend-settler.I think attempting to recreate/recapture any previous era would’ve added fuel to the “he’s washed-up” argument.

It had to do also with what the record company wanted from him.In order to do that, he'd need to be less constrained. And he was getting there. So it'd invariably be fun and loose, much the same way as OTW. But more diverse in musicality. I think the next record would've been quite fun, less a form of detoxifying as the 90s works were.

That confused me, not gonna lie."Bringing the Noise", "Space Cowboy", "No Strings Attached", "Digital Get Down", "The Game Is Over", "Celebrity", "Pop", etc pretty much have the same overproduced futuristic sound that you hear on "2000 Watts". "Just Got Paid" was produced by Riley, too.
I am referring to that characteristic beat that is heard throughout the entire 'Get Up On It' song (which was apparently later used also for the '2000 Watts' song).Not really. I always felt that one sounded like Sisqo's "Thong Song".
It has been said that Tyrese Gibson initially presented a bare demo tape (of the '2000 Watts' song) to Michael Jackson, which sounded very simple compared to the final version of that song.Tyrese didn't have many uptempo digital songs like "2000 Watts". "I Ain't the One" and "I Like Them Girls" are the only ones that come to mind. Even then, they're not quite as heavy as "2000 Watts"; that song was unlike anything else he had recorded, as implied by how his label wouldn't let him include it on his album.
